Molecular Rotary Motors

The enzymes that synthesize adenosine triphosphate in the mitochondria and chloroplasts of animal and plant cells, and in bacteria, are the world's smallest rotary motors. These enzymes provide the cell with its energy currency by catalyzing the addition of inorganic phosphate to adenosine diph...
